implement-and-check SKILL.md skillA

implement-and-check from skillberry-ai/cap-evolve is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add skillberry-ai/cap-evolve/implement-and-check@git:20260822.81c1fd8

Pins git:20260822.81c1fd8 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Runs the hard gate that has to pass before any optimization budget is spent. Use right after intake. Walks the agent through implementing the 3 required adapter methods plus any defaulted hooks that need overriding (and any selected skill's abstract methods), then runs `cap-evolve check` on the project plus each involved skill's check.py, listing exactly what is still stubbed or non-deterministic and what to do about each kind of failure.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# implement-and-check — make the contract real

Optimizing against a half-wired adapter produces a number that means nothing: a stub
scorer gives every candidate the same reward, an empty `tasks()` averages over nothing,
a non-deterministic scorer makes the gate chase measurement noise. This phase proves the
measurement apparatus works *before* budget is spent. It is cheaper to fail here than
after a full run.

## Steps

1. **Implement the 3 required adapter methods** in
   `.capevolve/project/adapters/adapter.py`. These are the `@abstractmethod`s
   (`core/cap_evolve/adapter.py:77-106`) — the gate refuses to run until all three are real:
   - `tasks(split)` → `list[Task]` for `'train'|'val'|'test'|'all'`; non-empty, same list
     every call.
   - `run_target(task, ctx, *, seed=0)` → `Rollout`. Run the agent under test with the
     candidate live as `ctx`; capture output + trace + tool calls + cost. Do not score
     here. Forward `seed` if the runner is stochastic; set `Rollout.error` on an infra
     failure so the engine treats it as noise, not as a low score.
   - `score(task, rollout)` → `Score`: reward in `[0,1]` + general feedback (it becomes

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add skillberry-ai/cap-evolve/implement-and-check@sha256:b717cc94fc0beac7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260822.81c1fd8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
